SUMMARY: Today is World MDS Day, and the City of Buxy is celebrating by illuminating its lighthouse in blue. This observance started in February 2021, initiated by Amber Olson, a resident of Ocean Springs, who founded the United MDS Foundation in 2016 after her daughter’s diagnosis. The foundation has since expanded globally, with members from countries like Argentina, Ireland, and Spain. One board member highlighted the foundation’s growth and encouraged public involvement through social media outreach. Additionally, other landmarks, including the Louisiana State Capitol and the St. Louis Science Center’s planetarium, will also be lit in blue.
